Default Removing window tag sticky from tinted windows????

I had a temporary tag stuck in my rear window and when I peeled it off it left the sticky and some paper backing. I tried soaking it in glass cleaner and scrubbing and that didn't work... so I tried to carefully scrape with a razor blade and that didn't work either and, of course, put some mild scratches in the tint (@#$%@#$@!!).

So now what do I use? Alcohol? goo gone?

I don't want to damage, discolor or bubble the tint any!

thanks

I'd try goo gone in the same situation

Default WD-40 works very well to remove adhesive. Probably less abrasive on tint too.

Heavily apply the WD to a towel, then wipe the adhesive away. Don't spray directly onto window.

Once adhesive is removed, remove the WD with some good glass cleaner.
